The Jaguar I-PACE has been named UK Car of the Year 2019.

Having collected the top prize in the Executive Car category
in February, the all-electric SUV went up against Alpine A110, Volvo XC40 and
Suzuki Jimny to claim the prestigious prize, becoming the third winner in the
last six years to be battery-operated.

Collecting the award was Jaguar Land Rover’s UK Managing
Director Rawdon Glover, said it is an incredibly proud moment for the business,
adding: “This car was conceived, designed and engineered in Britain, so to have
a selection of the nation’s leading automotive journalists vote it as the
overall UK Car of the Year against some stiff competition is a special moment
for us.”

The judging panel, consisting of 29 of the most respected UK
automotive journalists, were quick to compliment the I-PACE’s dynamics and
interior.

John Challen, Director of the UK Car of the Year Awards, said:
“As manufacturers take electric vehicles more seriously, Jaguar is leading the
pack with I-PACE, which offers fantastic range and performance as well as
stylish and spacious interior for driver and passenger.”
